BENGALURU, INDIA: Bengaluru-based Digital Waves has entered into a joint venture with T Platform, a Russian supercomputer company. They aim to offer high-performance computational clustering solutions to the Indian market.

This Russia India team will intends to introduce the world's best blade server designs and HPC solutions to the advantage of the Indian Research and Defence Organizations.

The Indian market can avail of the new powerful solutions for high-performance computing for all verticals like strategic/scientific computational research, oil and gas exploration, CFD, bio-medical/bio-informatics, weather modelling/prediction, etc.

In the capacity of an exclusive regional representative and authorized partner of T-Platforms, Digital Waves will both sell the solution developed by the Russian company, and install and maintain the system based on these solutions.

The new products available in the Indian market include blade systems T-Blade 1.1 and T-Blade 2.0,

PeakCell S server based on 9-core PowerXCell processors, and ClusterX software for high-performance computing systems.

The systems of T-Blade family were developed by T-Platforms, specifically for high-performance computing. They are used as computing nodes of Russia’s second most powerful supercomputer and can boast a highest computing density in the world. T-Blade 1.1 system chassis incorporates the computing power of 20 quad-core Intel Xeon 55?? (‘Nehalem’) processors or six-core AMD Opteron 24xx (‘Istanbul’) processors in a compact 5U enclosure, to give up to 9.98TF of peak performance in a standard 42U rack. T-Blade 2.0 is the second generation of T-Platforms blade platforms designed for building computer systems with Petascale level of performance. T-Blade 2.0 provides peak performance of up to 3TF in a 7U enclosure and up to 18TF in a standard 42U rack.

PeakCell S is a server, based on PowerXCell 8i 9-core processor. The server has a performance peak of 204.8 GF for double precision operations and 409.6GF for single precision operations. It is packed in convenient 1U form factor.
